It’s safe to say that after the past housebound year, home dwellers have found a new appreciation for styling their abode.
And when it comes to doing so, interior design ideas can be found in droves with a simple scroll through the ‘gram. From decorative candles to huggy chairs, there’s a plethora of home decor trends to adorn your living space, but there’s one style that should be at the top of your must-have list: terrazzo coffee tables.
Whether you’re on the hunt for an aesthetic addition to warm up your space or simply a spot to place your almond milk flat white, look no further than the tonal trend you’re sure to be seeing everywhere in 2021.
Made up of terrazzo stone, the speckled coffee tables typically come in a base colour of neutral cream, beige or oatmeal and is sprinkled with smaller fragments of stone in deeper neutrals like black, navy, forest green or terracotta, to name a few.
But what even is terrazzo? Traced back to ancient mosaics in Egypt, terrazzo is a composite material which is poured directly in place and is typically used on floors or walls. It is usually made up of chips of marble, quartz, granite and glass and combined with a binding agent like a type of cement and/or polymeric. Once cured, it is polished smooth to create a uniform surface.
Now transformed into tables of all kinds—from end to coffee—the mineral composition has taken on a new life as stand-alone furniture. And if you’re concerned about its sustainability, thanks to terrazzo’s unique makeup of recycled materials, you’re elevating your space and saving the planet at the same time. Need we say more?
Both extremely durable and easy to maintain, each piece can be unique and custom-made, but fret not, hunting for your own doesn’t need to be tricky or break the bank.
